Action requested: New online tool for Attendance Verification

(Sent on behalf of the Provost)

Dear Instructional Staff:

The U.S Department of Education requires colleges
to confirm that a student has enrolled before they can receive federal student
aid funds.

This year Montclair State University is introducing
a new online tool for Attendance Verification
formerly known as Enrollment Verification.
This new tool is easily accessible via a link through NEST. (NEST/Faculty Resources/Attendance Verification) You will be required to
complete the process of attendance verification ONCE for each student in your courses. The data submitted will be
received directly by the Financial Aid Office.

The tool is now available in NEST. This process should be completed between
September 14thand 20th for the
appropriate courses to ensure the prompt distribution of financial aid. If your course does not begin until
mid-semester, please complete the process as soon as possible after the start
date. Please refer to the following job aids if you need assistance using the
application:
